Section 20.555 - County Executive Committee Accepting Contributions or Making Expenditures That Exceed Certain Amount
(a) A county executive committee described by subsection (b) of this section is subject to the requirements of Subchapter F of this chapter (relating to Reporting Requirements for a General-Purpose Committee), except where those rules conflict with this subchapter. In the case of conflict, this subchapter prevails over Subchapter F of this chapter.
(b) A county executive committee that accepts political contributions or that makes political expenditures that, in the aggregate, exceed the amount specified in Tex. Elec. Code §253.031(d)(1), as amended by Figure 1 in 1 TAC § 18.31 in a calendar year shall file:
(1) a campaign treasurer appointment with the commission no later than the 15th day after the date that amount is exceeded; and
(2) the reports required by Subchapter F of this chapter. The first report filed must include all political contributions accepted and all political expenditures made before the county executive committee filed its campaign treasurer appointment.
(c) Contributions accepted from corporations and labor organizations under section 253.104 of the Election Code and reported under Subchapter H of this chapter (relating to Accepting and Reporting Contributions from Corporations and Labor Organizations) do not count against the amount specified in Tex. Elec. Code §253.031(d)(1), as amended by Figure 1 in 1 TAC § 18.31 thresholds described in subsection (b) of this section.
(d) A county executive committee that filed a campaign treasurer appointment may file a final report, which will notify the commission that the county executive committee does not intend to file future reports unless it exceeds one of the amount specified in Tex. Elec. Code §253.031(d)(1), as amended by Figure 1 in 1 TAC § 18.31 thresholds. The final report may be filed:
(1) beginning on January 1 and by the January 15 filing deadline if the committee has exceeded one of the amount specified in Tex. Elec. Code §253.031(d)(1), as amended by Figure 1 in 1 TAC § 18.31 thresholds in the previous calendar year; or
(2) at any time if the committee has not exceeded one of the amount specified in Tex. Elec. Code §253.031(d)(1), as amended by Figure 1 in 1 TAC § 18.31 thresholds in the calendar year.
